Tribes in southern Ethiopia have developed very strong, independent cultures. They live traditional lifestyles, isolated from technology and modern conveniences. Two children of the Karo tribe pose by the river on which they rely to fulfill their basic needs. June 2014

This series wouldn't be complete without a snapshot from Madagascar. Rickshaws are ubiquitous in the developing world, but nowadays you see them pulled by bicycles, motorcycles, or autos. Madagascar is the only place I've traveled where they still operate under human power. Can you believe this photo was taken just this month? November 2014

To travel back in time, there's no better place than Egypt. Stepping into a temple can transport you back not hundreds, but thousands of years. Sunbeams illuminate the ancient halls of Dendera. April 2014

It's tough to pick my favorite country, but Myanmar most readily comes to mind. Nearly every picture I took in there could be included in this series -- the decades seem to have passed it by.
